I think it's being thrown at the wolves, we call it in our business.

I asked Fred Astaire once when he was about my age if he still danced, and he said 'Yes, but it hurts now.' That's exactly it. I can still dance too, but it hurts now!

So I think we're kind of an alternate choice for people who have had it with sex and violence.

We spent a lot of time together and had a great time with Mary Tyler Moore. And just working with her was like improv.

Anyone who doesn't sing and dance at every opportunity is missing out on the joy of life.

I went public with the alcoholism, very early on... the early '70s. Mercedes McCambridge, the actress, I think was the first recognizable person that went before Congress and talked about it, and I thought that was a good idea, to take some of the stigma away from it and say "Normal, average people can fall prey to it." So it's been public for me. I did a movie about an alcoholic. And today, you're nobody unless you've been to rehab. It seems like everybody has some kind of an addiction.

You need someone to love, and something to do that you enjoy, and something to hope for, and that's enough for me.
